Tejo Ambiente has formalized the start of a €1.2 million project to upgrade water supply and sanitation networks in the municipality of Tomar, with a particular focus on the parish of Paialvo.

The contract signing took place yesterday, November 9th, at Tejo Ambiente's headquarters in Ourém, between the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Tiago Carrão, and Pedro Sousa, administrator of the awarded company Manuel Pedro de Sousa & Filhos Lda., marking the commencement of the project's execution.
The overall investment of approximately €1.2 million includes a co-financing of about €640,000 from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), through the Centro 2030 Regional Programme. These funds will support the modernization and reinforcement of essential infrastructure within the municipality.
Planned interventions include the construction of new wastewater drainage infrastructure and the extension of the water supply network in Paialvo. The aim is to improve public service coverage and the environmental and sanitary conditions for the population, addressing identified needs in the territory.
The application was submitted under the Integrated Territorial Instruments of the Médio Tejo Intermunicipal Community (ITI CIM), aligned with the region's territorial development strategy. Tejo Ambiente thus reinforces its modernization strategy by mobilizing European funding for priority interventions.
